Changdeokgung Palace and its Secret Gardens

 The entrance to Changdeokgung Palace's...

 Several angles of the residence...

 a rare selfie... it may become more common occurrence as time goes on.

Interiors of the Palace's residences are beyond spacious for its time.  

 This shot was taken from the far left window peeking in...

 Shot of the King's throne or seat of power from the center of the entrance...

 

This vertical shot showcases the ceiling and the decorative elements added for grand effect.  

The lamps were both electric and tea candles.  

 Close up details for exterior undersides of the roof.  Inspiration was taken from the visual descriptions of the Lotus. 

Another selfie with the gorgeous green door.... 

The texture and color are to be seen to believe.  I'm in love!!!

 Incredible details just cover every space of the exterior...

 Spring has really arrived yet, I missed the sakura blooms by several days.
